Why It Matters

Why Professional Mold Inspection Matters

DIY mold test kits from the hardware store have one major flaw — they can't tell you where the mold is, how much there is, or what's causing it. A professional inspection does all three.

Mattra's certified inspectors evaluate visible growth, hidden moisture, and air quality. We use thermal imaging cameras to detect moisture behind walls and ceilings — before the mold becomes visible. You get a written assessment and a clear recommendation so you can make an informed decision.

No pressure. No unnecessary work. Just honest answers.

Our Testing Services

Our Mold Testing Services

What We Test

  • Indoor air samples from affected areas
  • Outdoor baseline air samples for comparison
  • Spore count analysis by certified lab
  • Detection of hidden airborne contamination

Air Quality Testing

We collect air samples from inside your home and compare them against outdoor baseline levels. Elevated spore counts confirm airborne contamination — even when you can't see visible growth.

This is the most accurate method for detecting hidden mold problems.

What We Identify

  • Swab and tape-lift surface samples
  • Mold species identification
  • Stachybotrys (black mold) detection
  • Remediation approach guidance

Surface Sampling

When visible growth is present, we take swab or tape-lift samples to identify the mold species. Surface testing confirms what type of mold you're dealing with and helps guide the remediation approach.

Results include identification of common species including Stachybotrys (black mold).

What We Detect

  • Temperature differences behind walls
  • Hidden moisture intrusion
  • Growth behind ceilings and floors
  • Included in every inspection — no add-on fee

Thermal Imaging

Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences behind walls, ceilings, and floors — revealing hidden moisture intrusion and growth that isn't visible to the naked eye.

Thermal imaging is included in every Mattra inspection, not an add-on fee.

What You Receive

  • Written summary of all findings
  • Photos of affected areas
  • Clear remediation recommendation
  • Plain language — not contractor jargon

Written Assessment & Recommendations

Every inspection includes a written summary of findings with photos of affected areas and a clear recommendation.

If remediation is needed, we explain exactly what it involves and why — in plain language, not contractor jargon.

What to Expect

What to Expect During Your Mold Inspection

1

Visual Survey

We walk the full property — attic, basement, crawl space, and living areas — identifying visible growth, moisture staining, and conditions that encourage mold development.

2

Air & Surface Sampling

We collect samples in affected and comparison areas to establish baselines and measure contamination levels. Samples are analyzed and results are documented in your written report.

3

Thermal Imaging Scan

Our infrared camera identifies moisture behind surfaces that aren't visible during a standard visual inspection. This step often reveals the source of a mold problem before remediation begins.

4

Written Report & Next Steps

You receive a clear, documented summary of what we found, where it is, and what we recommend. If remediation is the right step, we can provide an estimate the same day.

FAQ

Common Questions About Mold Inspection & Testing

Mold inspection costs in Maine vary based on the size of the home and scope of testing. Contact us for a specific quote — we'll give you a straightforward assessment of what your situation actually requires.

Hardware store test kits can detect the presence of spores, but they can't locate the source, measure contamination levels, or tell you whether the situation is serious. A professional inspection gives you actionable information.

Start with an inspection. We'll evaluate what's present, how significant it is, and whether remediation is necessary. We won't recommend work you don't need.

Yes. Surface sampling identifies the mold species present, including Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold). Air quality testing reveals overall contamination levels regardless of species.

Most residential inspections take 1–3 hours depending on home size and the number of areas being tested. We'll give you an estimated timeframe when you book.
